This week I made the most delicious lemon cupcakes! It all went a bit wrong when I accidentally used plain flour instead of self raising (doh!) so I had to start all over again. But I’m glad I didn’t give up as they were probably my favourite cupcakes that I’ve made. I love lemon, and I’ve always loved things a little bit tangy, so I put in lots of lemon zest and squeezed the juice into both the sponge and the buttercream. I also didn’t bake them for as long as usual so they weren’t very golden but they were extra soft and delicious!
I decorated them simply with traditional lemon buttercream swirls and topped them with lemon jelly sweets and silver and cream dragee balls. They were mighty good!
They look so so so delicious 🙂 Definitely need to make some cupcakes again soon!
Oh wow they look amazing!! So hungry now!
